CUSTOM C POWER
ENGINE DETAIL
The Chrysler 6-cylinder gasoline engine with a displacement of 217.7 ci (3.6 L) is capable of providing robust power output at a rated RPM of 1800, making it suitable for heavy-duty tractor applications. Its liquid-cooled design mitigates overheating risks during extended operations, enhancing reliability. However, users should be aware of fuel consumption rates and maintenance requirements associated with gasoline engines, which could impact operational costs compared to diesel alternatives.

CUSTOM C ENGINE
The Chrysler 3.6L 6-cylinder gasoline engine offers a balance of power and efficiency, generating approximately 287 horsepower and 252 lb-ft of torque, making it suitable for medium-duty applications. Its Dual Overhead Cam (DOHC) design enhances performance and fuel efficiency, but operators should be aware of potential maintenance considerations such as valve timing and fuel system upkeep. Ideal for agricultural uses requiring robust power delivery without the weight of a diesel engine, the customization can also lead to challenges in parts availability and integration with existing tractor systems.

TRANSMISSION
The Custom C tractor features a 4-speed forward and 1-speed reverse gearbox, allowing for versatile speed management and enhanced control during various agricultural tasks. The 4 forward gears provide a range of velocity options suitable for different field conditions, while the single reverse gear simplifies maneuverability in tight spaces. However, the lack of additional reverse speeds may limit operational flexibility when negotiating complex terrains or reversing under load.

MECHANICAL
The 4x2 2WD chassis provides adequate traction for light to moderate terrain, making it suitable for agricultural tasks on flat fields. However, the drum brakes may pose challenges in terms of heat dissipation and stopping power compared to modern disc systems, especially under heavy loads. The 4-speed transmission offers straightforward operation but may limit speed variability in varying field conditions, making it less ideal for more demanding farming applications.

CUSTOM C TIRES
The Custom C tractor features a front tire size of 6x16 and a rear tire size of 11x28, which suggests a high center of gravity conducive to stability on uneven terrain, ideal for agricultural applications. The larger rear tires enhance traction and load-bearing capacity, beneficial for plowing and heavy tillage. However, the tire size ratio may lead to increased soil compaction if not managed with proper weight distribution and tire pressure.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Custom C tractor's compact wheelbase of 88 inches enhances maneuverability in tight agricultural spaces, making it ideal for small farms or gardens. Weighing 3,450 lbs provides a balanced stance for stability while ensuring sufficient traction with the larger rear tires (11x28), beneficial for plowing or towing loads. However, the smaller front tires (6x16) may impact flotation in soft or muddy conditions, posing a challenge in wet environments.
